The T-18 light tank (also called MS-1 Russian: Maliy Soprovozhdeniya-Perviy First Small [Vehicle for] Support) was the first Soviet-designed tank. Produced from 1928–31 it was based on the Renault FT with the addition of a vertically sprung suspension.The T-18 and its derivatives were essentially unsuccessful designs but they gave Soviet industry its first experiences in designing armoured vehicles and in the meantime a number of foreign tank designs were available for production.
